Prosecutor: Man dies after street fight

A 29-year-old man has died from injuries he sustained in a reported street fight in Jersey City last week, authorities said.

Glen Mackie Jr., of Jersey City, died Friday afternoon at Jersey City Medical Center, two days after police found him unresponsive on Lexington Avenue with an "obvious wound to his head," Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez announced.

The Medical Examiner said death was caused by a blunt force trauma to the head and determined the manner of death to be a homicide, Suarez said. It is the eighth homicide in Jersey City this year and the 10th in Hudson County.

Police were called to Lexington Avenue at around 12:15 a.m. on July 5 on a report of a street fight and found Mackie on the sidewalk between Bergen Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard, Suarez said.

He was taken to JCMC, where he remained until his death.

The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Unit is actively investigating the case with assistance from the Jersey City Police Department.
